Flush

Start of house-build is finally within reach. Last Thursday the surveyor and builder were both out here discussing placement. Mr B had decided he was having a motorcycling day, bike loaded into van and he was off out of here leaving me to make decisions about view and light and distance from fences and whether there was enough space in the drive for doing three-point turns (surely that depends on the size of whatever you are driving, and how tight its turning circle. I don't need to cater for 3-point turning juggernauts. With fuel the price as it is everyone will be riding bicycles in a month or two.) The best part of start of house-build is that the sewage extraction system goes in first and we might then have a flush toilet for first time in about 18 months. Neighbours (M&F) live the same deprivations and have promised a celebration of 'THE FLUSH'. First world problem. It won't be anything fancy - a building the size of a telephone box parked di...

Sunburst

Image courtesy of Sailing World - example of a dinghy trapeze Mr B has added a sailing dinghy to his stable of toys. He spent Easter Sunday rigging it (a few things needed to be fixed) and I was promised/threatened with dinghy sailing the following day. Fortunately it is a very forgiving looking dinghy and I would not have to spend the day hanging out over the side on a trapeze. It is a Sunburst dinghy - a class known only in New Zealand. It is looking very pretty in pale blue (Aden Blue) and Oyster White livery. Hopefully there are no clubs with racing fleets of Sunbursts within a long drive of here as I don't fancy taking up dinghy racing at this stage in my sailing career. As a sport it is wet, tends to be cold, and has tedious courses (as in: up/down between a couple of buoys with a third thrown in to make triangles from time to time). I prefer the kind of sailing/racing where the view changes, you never have to see the same race mark twice, and t...

Fleet

My neighbours have lots of boats and Mr B got a new green one to add to the fleet. Matches the water don't you think? F wanted to go without me because they were both paddling boats like this with no seat for me.....so I scrambled onto the back of hers as she was climbing into the little hole. It caused some human consternation and I was eventually dragged into the hole in the middle of Mr B’s boat. It's called a cockpit. Mr B is useful for kicking my tennis ball (games with 'puppy') and paying cheese tax but I kept my eyes on F. I only venture out to sea with her. She started to get away and I had to fight my way out and chase her. (I hadn't thought that one through.) Mr B called her back and we arranged what she called an STS - ship to ship transfer. Right out in the main channel. (It wasn't entirely dignified. There is a handle on the back of my red water coat, and the humans used it to sort of 'crane' me across. Bah!) F's cockpit is deeper ...

Laundry

Blue Eye Patch and very cool feathers Seen under the eoad bridge in the river in Nelson last week - shag hanging its laundry out to dry.

Shake-down

The shake-down voyage of SD (sailing dinghy) Skylab - the Sunburst - took place on Easter Monday in light breezes and an outgoing tide. Launching was complicated by discovering that the launching trolley floats. The receding tide was uncovering the oyster beds near the slipway so there were some fraught moments where I got thoroughly wet holding the boat off the oysters (wouldn't do to mark the pretty paint job first time out). After that we sailed a few tacks out of the bay and a few gybes back - no capsizes, no drama, no hiking (hanging out over the side with feet under some webbing in the centre of the boat - it is to hold the boat down when you load the sails up and go for speed upwind), and only a small amount of drama getting loaded back onto the floating trailer. We are clear and in agreement on one thing: we need a road trailer so we can use the van to tow the (plywood) dinghy back up the steep slipway. There is also now a shopping list of new halyards, assorted shackles (...
